START educates the public regarding animal abuse and exploitation in a wide
range of areas, such as factory farming, animal research, wildlife trade, and
the entertainment industry, to name a few. We promote compassion and
responsibility by encouraging and supporting a vegan lifestyle, which benefits
not only other species but human health and the environment as well. We do this
primarily through community events, letter-writing, demonstrations, leafleting,
and presentations. We are an all-volunteer organization of dedicated and
enthusiastic members, of all ages and backgrounds. We need and want additional
members to increase our voice as we speak out for the voiceless.
